Hello,

Well, my 2 cents. Google has it on its country list, Paypal has it, BBC has it, even some Israeli websites have some delivery option to Palestinian territories.. I believe it must be there, that’s away from me being a Palestinian myself in this situation.

I agree with Charlie, the 1st commenter mentioning that any user, despite where he/she os from; have the right to be attached to any network he/she feels being a part of. Even if that involves a new group of ‘Lunatics’ to ask for some ‘Moon’ network to be created for them.

Anyway, Its not me making the decision, wisdom Facebook, wisdom.

I don’t understand what the big deal here is.
The way I see it, you’re the one starting to dabble with politics with this blog post.

I’m left wondering how Facebook can avoid these international debates. Social networks transcend borders. Their very nature is much too large to avoid these things.

This is a new type of problem, one that they have to face. It can’t be avoided.

For me, I say let people choose between Palestine and Israel. If you limit people to one choice, you’re shutting out a whole group of people and their identity.
